I don't know if of any of you watched the French Open Tennis final, but at one point the camera panned out to show a wide shot of the crowd, and it looked as though 80% of the crowd, men and women were wearing panama hats. I know some are given out for free in the posh seats, but this was the...
Lite weight VS, in a classic diamond bash, on a hot, sunny, but breezy day in London.
Slightly too windy for a panama so a light weight felt is the perfect replacement:
Thanks for the advice re beer stains. Actually I gave it a good brushing and most of it seems to have come off, I guess the beer hadn't been absorbed by the felt. I was surprised how easily it came off, but obviously not complaining!!

Hi
Just watched the you tube link, thanks for posting. I hadn't seen this film before and it interesting to see these authentic wardrobe items in colour.
As regards the hat, I would imagine 'granite' would be the closest winchester felt. How about the ribbon colour, it appears to be a dark...

I'm just catching up on this thread having been really busy the last few days. My mother died 3 weeks ago, and so I've been spending a lot of time with my dad to hopefully keep him company and take his mind off things.
Anyway getting to the point, great hats over the weekend. I do enjoy seeing...
Wow, fantastic photo essays.
Joao I spent a week in Lagos a few years ago and I'm remember a trip to the atlantic coast. I vaguely remember a monument to Henry the Navigator I think his voyages of discovery set off from around there...is that near where your photo's were taken?
Daniele, great...
Hi TD
To be honest 'annoyed' is probably too strong. I guess I was just a little put out that I only got the Indiana Jones response when I was wearing that hat and not once when I've worn an Indy style hat!
Had the ground not been so crowded I would have said hello, but it wasn't really...
I was sitting in the crowd at a rugby match the other day, when from a group of German tourists on I assume a rugby tour came the sound of someone whistling the Raiders' March. I wouldn't have minded had I been wearing one of the Indy style hats of which I own a couple, but I was wearing a...
I really like the look of the Campdraft with the mid size ribbon. It's a shame Akubra don't offer this style as a new model.
Out of interest how easy is it to source ribbon and apply it to the hat?
I don't wish to burst your bubble, but it's been sunshine and showers this week. You might want to keep a light weight felt handy for a bit longer! Shame as I've just received a decent straw from Panama Hats Direct and am still waiting to wear it.
Lovely images from Italy Daniele.
Leith Hill in the Surrey Hills. Up from here is a tower, the highest point in SE England. From it you can see the clock face of Big Ben to the north, the sea to the South.

Apologies for the splodges in the...
